Former Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson has attracted attention this NBA offseason not only for his basketball career but also for his budding romance with Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion. Now playing as a shooting guard for the Dallas Mavericks, Thompson has shared glimpses of their relationship, including a recent boat outing where the couple was seen fishing and enjoying time together.
Thompson, who is 35 years old and well-known for his affinity for boats, posted a heartfelt message during the boat date, revealing his feelings about the relationship. The combination of his love for boating and his connection with Megan has created a fresh narrative around the veteran player beyond the court.
I’m in my element, I’ve got my queen on board, of course I feel cool, I’m the coolest guy in this harbor,
Thompson said.
Reflecting on Thompson’s Legacy with the Warriors
As Thompson embarks on this new chapter in Dallas, his impressive legacy with the Golden State Warriors remains a cornerstone of his career. Over more than a decade with the franchise, he secured four NBA championships alongside Stephen Curry and earned distinctions as a five-time All-Star and two-time All-NBA team member. The recent season marked a poignant moment for fans as it was the first time Thompson took the court without the Warriors’ jersey.
Last season with the Mavericks, Thompson averaged 14 points and 3.4 rebounds per game while shooting 41.2% from the field and almost 40% from beyond the arc. His reliable 3-and-D (three-point shooting and defense) skill set was instrumental in helping Dallas secure a spot in the Play-In Tournament, despite eventually falling to the Memphis Grizzlies.
Current Status and Outlook for the Dallas Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks face a pivotal season with key roster changes shaping their future prospects. Following the controversial trade of Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers, Thompson now teams up with Anthony Davis and shares the court with Cooper Flagg, a highly anticipated talent selected as the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Flagg, a Duke University standout, carries significant expectations to contribute immediately.
However, the Mavericks will be without All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving for the foreseeable future after an ACL injury midway through last season. Reports from the Dallas Hoops Journal indicate Irving’s rehabilitation is progressing faster than expected, though the team does not have a confirmed return date. He is projected to rejoin the lineup during the 2025-26 season alongside Thompson, Flagg, and Davis.
Meanwhile, Thompson continues to enjoy what remains of his offseason, highlighted by quality time with Megan Thee Stallion. The Mavericks are preparing for their regular season, which is scheduled to begin in late October, aiming to build momentum with their evolving roster.
